[SBU Board] SBU Free Plays.xlsx

[Eric Sieg]

I would personally be a fan of creating a list of a significant 
contributions and then the free play that goes with it. It seems like 
some people get noticed and get free plays and others might not. One 
occasion I remember is two years ago there was a call put out for help 
with tear down in exchange for free plays. Leah stayed to help tear down 
to the end which made her evening go a lot longer and then no free play 
ever materialized.

Maybe something like the following:

Bringing homemade baked goods (significant amount): 1 free play
Helping with set up from start to finish: 1 free play
Helping with tear down from start to finish: 1 free play
Being a designated helper for hospitality, including refilling the 
water, grabbing ice/soda, and whatever else hospitality needs: 1 free play

I don't know enough about what David does vs how he is financially 
compensated to offer an opinion on him

I'm a big fan of the set up/tear down stuff because it can relieve 
pressures on the board. Many responsibilities of the board like all the 
stuff I do for the unit games/round robin/etc can generally be done at a 
time that's somewhat convenient. In comparison, we NEED people to stay 
and when people are tired or have other things going on then it can be a 
duty that is at a time where we're tired and have other things we should 
be doing and might also result in spouses having to stay etc. There have 
been times when it is clear the people who volunteered to stay really 
didn't want to and either they left and put a burden on everyone else or 
they stayed and were exhausted and clearly didn't want to be there.

We obviously don't want to hand out free plays like candy or it will 
make our financials bad, but I think judicious use can help alleviate 
specific pain points. Most of these duties should remain with board 
members, just seemed like something to consider.
